An Intro to Line and it's importantace

A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. They lead your eye around the composition and can communicate information through their character and direction.

How is line draw below? Why are there so many lines? What is the feeling you get from this?

Look closely at the types of lines in the drawing below. How many different lines do you see here? Notice length, direction, width, distance from each other, etc.

Line can also be used to generate texture.

Quickly Smoothly Lightly

Sketching confuses your brain! Your brain is brilliant at spotting every tiny mistake. It sees every flaw in the left circle but thinks the right circle is more accurate, even though it is made up of lots of ‘wrong’ lines. So if we sketch with multiple light lines our drawings will look better!
